Treating Migraine Headaches

Vitality101 Newsletter

Hello Reader,

Migraine headaches can be very severe and usually last for several days. They're often preceded by an “aura,” which may consist of visual disturbances such as flashing lights. They also often bring on nausea, sweating, dizziness, and light and sound sensitivity. The cause is still debated, with muscle contraction, low serotonin and the relaxation (dilation) of blood vessels all playing a role.

For those of you who've experienced them, you know that migraines are horribly painful. But they're also expensive to society. The average amount of work missed because of workers with migraines is about 20 days a year, at an approximate cost to employers of $3,000 a year per employee. It is sadly also woefully under addressed, with 31% of migraine sufferers never having sought therapy.

Let's discuss ways to reduce the severity of migraines, and even help prevent them from recurring.

Adrenal Fatigue, Stress, and Natural Support Strategies

Dr. T recently joined host Dr. Ronald Hoffman of the Intelligent Medicine® podcast. In it they discuss how the adrenals can be functionally exhausted and may be missed by standard testing and “normal ranges.” They discuss adrenal roles in stress response, blood sugar regulation, blood pressure, immunity, and symptoms suggesting low adrenal function (irritability when hungry, sugar cravings, fatigue, recurrent infections, lightheartedness/brain fog, mood shifts).

A Slow Story ...

A guy is sitting at home when he hears a knock at the door. He opens the door and sees a snail on the porch. He picks up the snail and throws it as far as he can. A year later, there’s another knock at the door. He opens it and sees the same snail. The snail says, “What was that all about?”

... and a Quick Zinger

"If there are any idiots in the room, will they please stand up," said the sarcastic teacher. After a long silence, one freshman rose to his feet. "Now then young man, why do you consider yourself an idiot?," asked the teacher with a sneer. "I don't," said the student, "but I hate to see you standing up there all by yourself."
